Studio Ghibli is one of my favorite directing studios ever - I swear I have not seen one movie that hasn't captivated me. From the sweet slice-of-life tale of 'Whispers of the Heart' to the fantasy romp of 'The Cat Returns', everything done by Studio Ghibli has been wonderful.

I was always wanting to do a Ponyo shoot, and especially try out an underwater shoot, so I begged *cielroses to be the Fujimoto to my Granmamare. Sub-zero teperatures and moving interstate didn't stop us from braving the iciness of the pool and the misery that was soggy-costume-and-raining day.

I have so much respect now for people who do underwater shoots! That stuff is so difficult! I loved doing it, but it was very hard, especially when my enormously long dress and wig both threatened to buoy and drown me simultaneously. There are lots of awkward doggy-paddling-half-drowned photos of me now, that's for sure!

Heaps of thanks to Karina for being an amazing helper - a.k.a pushing me underwater and purposefully trying to drown me. I think that's the only time I'll ever say that... 8'D *sob* Also, thank you so much to Sab, who did an amazing job in getting at least ONE photo of me not looking derpy underwater (a miracle in itself!).
